Bail Amounts and the Alameda County Bail Schedule
Alameda County maintains its own bail schedule that sets standard bail amounts for specific charges. Misdemeanor arrests typically have bail set by the schedule immediately at booking. Felony bail is usually set by a judge at arraignment, which must occur within 72 hours of arrest.
Common bail ranges in Alameda County: DUI first offense typically $5,000 to $15,000. Felony drug charges range from $20,000 to $100,000 depending on quantity and prior record. Domestic violence charges carry a mandatory 24-hour hold before any bail can be posted. Violent felonies are typically set at arraignment, and bail can run from $50,000 to $500,000 or higher.
California law sets the bail bond premium at exactly 10 percent statewide. A $50,000 bail means a $5,000 premium. CityWide offers flexible payment plans and low down payment options for qualified co-signers. Call 1-833-385-5245 to talk through options before the arraignment deadline.
